indeed


Let's just hope that the late Steve Death gets the credit for holding the record for 30 years despite being implike

[howser]

Can only concur with the above posts many congratulations to Edwin Van Der Sar and Man Utd, a magnificent achievement, I remember so well the credit and press ovations that the Steve Death got when he set the record, Van Der Sar deserves and will surly get his just rewards for beating the previous outstanding record.

Steve Death best for 100 years, Van Def Sarr, beats it, well done to him and all of the Man Utd team for beating one of the hardest records to beat, we still have 13 in a row at begining of a season, lets see Utd beat that.

106 is unlikely to be "stolen" by a "big" team.

Leeds?? or brighton

[Ian Royal]

Well if you're going to be like that, "big" teams include half the fricking football league.

[Russell Street]

Like Southampton.

[Royal With Cheese]

Well done Man U and VDS. A truly staggering achievement.

[Rex]

Certainly is considering the clubs earlier form. They are now firing on all cylinders and will be hard to catch.

[Jackson Corner]

I'm sorry to see it go it was great record, would rather have seen iy gone to a lower league team than one that was put together for hundreds of millions.

How about Leicester ?

[glass half full]

But Leicester are no longer a 'big' team, as they went into administration a few years ago......

[Gordons Cumming]

:cry:
Now Federici has to break the record.

9 games to go.

The Leicester fans will tell you that they are, and the original quote 'big' suggests a team that thinks it is rather than one that actually is.

By the way, Leicester need to drop 13 points in 18 games. Given that they've only dropped 20 in 28, that looks like it's going to be a bit tight.

Out of interest, if Hahnemann comes back in and we still go 9 games without conceding, would the record come back to us? Or does it rely on the same goalkeeper being there for all the games?

I ask because it's always quoted as being Steve Death's record rather than Reading's.

[readingbedding]

It would come back to us.

[PEARCEY]

Didn't realise D'eath's record still stood until yesterday. It lasted 30 years so it shows what an achievement it was in the first place.
Well done to Van Der Saar

[SCIAG]

It would come back to us.

But VDS would earn a "single goalkeeper" record.

[Terminal Boardom]

OK, it's a cliche but records are there to be broken. Congratulations to Edwin van der Saar and to Manchester United FC. To lose a record to a team chasing major honours is no disgrace. I am just relieved that we didn't lost it ot the likes of Hereford or Darlington - if you get my drift.
